The first phase of my Art Portal project was based on on-demand print. This next phase is based on on-demand manufacturing. It means that the mayor, the priest and ordinary people can do their own personal designsin ties, mugs, T-shirts, caps, mouse pads, stamps, posters, postcards...I have prepared MERCHANDISE products based on my own art works. 70 MERCHANDISE products for New Hedensted , 55 MERCHANDISE products for Aarhus City, 18 MERCHANDISE products for Guggenheim Museum, 7 MERCHANDISE products for Shanghai Chambers of Commerce etc. So far I have done 1200 MERCHANDISE products. I found the software I needed in Silicon Valley - where else. The customer must be able to customize my MERCHANDISE products.The mayor must be able to decide himself where my motif is placed on his tie.Click on a motif above!You will find the MERCHANDISE products on my web site or on Art Portals. Find the Art Portals in English on lonvig.org/portal-en.htm. Customizing takes place in San Jose (Silicon Valley). My friends in Silicon Valley are zazzle.com and my new name is zazzle.com/lonvig*.My project is maybe very ambitious. I have difficulties explaining what it is all about. I wrote an article in WWAR Art News the other day. As I got not much response I thought: Shit!!! Shit, now I was again not able to explain. And I became so sad - so sad.But. Yesterday a reader of my article wrote to me from New York: You are a genius. Today the world renowned Iconograpfer Ilina Filipova from Malta expressed her enthusiasm about my ideas.And she even has used them on her web site.Another artist from Phoenix, Arizona intend to use my ideas in teaching illustration and advertising...........Sincerely,Asbjorn Lonvig artist, designer etc.www.lonvig.dkwww.lonvig.orgwww.lonvig.biz
Someone once told me that putting reproductions of art on sweatshirts, or carry-on bags is to bastardize artists' work.Bastardize!Last time we met I told you about my Art Portals.Phase 2 of my Art Portal project is to bastardize every single of my art works on the Art Portals.Bastardize is - as you might have guessed - not at all my favorite term for this.I call it merchandise.I could not agree less with the phrase bastardize.I call it to communicate the essence of a good art work to as many people as possible.So Phase 2 of my Art Portal Project is to create merchandise products based on my art works.Now I needed a piece of software:that could help med create merchandise productsthat could exhibit my merchandise productsthat could allow me to exhibit the merchandise products on my Art Portalsthat could receive orders and payment from the customersthat could allow the customers to customize the merchandise productthat could produce the customized merchandise product on-demand (...let us call it on-demand manufacturing)that could send the product to the customer.Until now my Art Portals have dealt with on-demand printing.My ambition to create merchandise products on-line for sale on the internet presumes on-demand manufacturing.I want to create T-shirts, mugs, posters, greeting cards, postcards, hats, bags ties aprons, ties, mouse pads, stickers, bottons etc. based on existing art works.I have been looking around.In Europe.In Asia.In Australia.In Africa.In South America.And of course I found my piece of software in North America.In The United States, in San Jose - in Silicon Valley.This piece of software is made by real computer nerds.Technically it is second to none.It's called zazzle.com.My new name is zazzle.com/lonvig*The users of zazzle.com are young creative people with a substantial computer background and as far as I can tell most of the users are from north-west United States and south-west Canada.I can use the technical superciliousness of zazzle.com and make it user friendly by integrating it into my Art Portals.I found zazzle.com on 13 January 2007.So far I have made 700 merchandise products and integrated these products into my Art Portals.My goal is 1000 merchandise products.No more talk.Let me show you some samples.>br>I hope there are no rules aginst using shockwave-flash technique here - so, let's take advantage of being on-line!!!The PANELs below are the PANELs shown on each of my Art Portals.The merchandice products in the PANELs are shown with the most popular product first.Aarhus City Art Portal with 7 motifs.See the th 55 or more merchandise products in San Joseand in the Panel belowShanghai Chambers of Commerce Art Portal with 2 motifs.See the 7 or more merchandise products in San Joseand in the Panel belowThe Dansih Parliament Art Portal with 6 motifs.See the 26 or more merchandise products in San Joseand in the PANEL belowThe Guggenheim Museum Art Portal with 3 motifs.See the 18 or more merchandise products in San Joseand in the PANEL belowThe BG Bank Art Portal with 7 motifs.See the 26 or more merchandise products in San Joseand in the PANEL belowThe Children's Museum (...my fairy tale characters) Art Portal with 26 motifs.See the 131 or more merchandise products in San Joseand in the PANEL belowFinally for your entertainment (US citizens only)Zazzle.com is authorized to approve US Postal stamps.So far I have made 50 or more stamps for all you guys in The US.I would be very happy to know if any of you US citicens intend to use my stamps.See them in the PANEL belowand you might order the stamps in a sheet of 20 in San JoseYou might have seen 5 stars under a motif in the PANELs above - that's visitor's ratings.If you want to see more PANELs you have to explore them yourself on Art Portals.Or you might explore them on an extended version of this blog entry on my web site.ThoughtsI know I have to be aware of my own fascination of technically good software due to my past as a software engineer.zazzle.com is technically good software.I have to see the software as a tool and only bring is along if it is possible to make it user friendly.I look forward to see what happens with Phase 2 of my Art Portals project.Phase 2, which implements merchandise by on-demand manufacturing.
By Asbjorn LonvigA new Michelangelo has been born?A new Rembrandt?A new Van Gogh?A new Picasso?No.Larger.The internet revolutionized computer business. By accident.Art has not been revolutionized by the internet.Yet.For the last month I have eagerly tested ImageKind.com.In the Beta test and after the launch some months ago.I knew ImageKind.com was right for me.You create your piece, you load it up, you set price, that's it.I have created 500 new peaces in 25 Galleries.People around me are sure I'm in sane.I was pleased about ImageKind's ambitions: To build the largest and best platform for buying, creating, and selling art.Easy to say.But.Very, very hard to accomplice.This morning, however, I knew the Art world would be revolutionized.The revolution is around the corner.Talks are going on between ImageKind and Amazon.com.Amazon.com has what ImageKind doesn't have. And what ImageKind probably never will have.A brand.The place you go when you want to buy online.And a dream comes through.I create my pieces, I load it up, I set the price and a customer looks at it a few moments after.No Mr. 25 %, no Mr. 10 %, no Mr. 50 %.No galleries, no curators, no museums.No intervention.Just me, the artist and the customer.
A new Art Exhibition of these 8 art works has been opened on 22 June 2006 at Saatchi Gallery in London. In 2007 Saatchi opens a brand new gallery in The Duke of York's HQ building, Kings Road, Chelsea, London, UK. Sincerely, Asbjorn Lonvig
You can click on a picture to enlage. These Posterse are made for coloring. Lucca at the age of 6 thinks it is a splendid idea. She loves coloring. She colored "Sea Horse Hippo-Cam-Pus" yesterday on a small size print. Only the 4 sea horses were large enough to color.Now I have ordered this Coloring Poster in size 30 x 40"at ArtWanted and it is sent directly to Lucca's home address. See the"Sea Horse Hippo-Cam-Pus" Coloring Poster. Under the poster you can see a zoom of the fairy tale illustration In a week or so, Lucca receives the poster and I'm excited to hear if she still loves to color. There are 4 different Coloring Posters. I wonder if you might use Coloring Posters in school or kindergartens? Of course in some context where the fairy tales are read out loud or read by the children? The fairy tales are available in several languages on my web site. You can print children's books and coloring books. What do you think? Sincerely, Asbjorn Lonvig, artist, designer etc.
